Trump has renewed his call for the U.S. to buy Greenland from Denmark, citing national security. This follows his previous unsuccessful attempt in 2019. He also suggested that Canada could become the 51st state. In addition, Trump proposed that the U.S. should regain control of the Panama Canal, claiming rising shipping costs are unfair. Panama's president responded firmly, stating the canal belongs to Panama. Greenland's leader dismissed Trump's comments, asserting that the island is not for sale. Trump has also made remarks about Canada, suggesting Canadians want statehood and referring to their prime minister in a joking manner.
